I REALLY don't get the litterbox as cake trend. The very idea makes me gag, which is not conducive to eating dessert.

Some of the pics I've seen of these "cakes" online have been very, uh, realistic. VERY. 'Nuff said.

The flowerpot with pudding in the pot and Oreo "dirt" on top and gummy worms was ... okay. Silly, but at least it didn't make me want to vomit. That's the very least we should be expecting from a dessert offering, no?

I feel sorry for someone so out of touch they would bring something like that to an event where they weren't 100% sure it would go over well. ETA: or maybe she really thought it would be a hit, which is even sadder.

Gross, I wouldn't have eaten that either. I don't understand the whole 'let's make edible things look like inedible things'. I also don't like when people bake things in items that haven't been tested for food safety, like flower pots, litter boxes, etc. I don't really eat potluck anyway, but yeah, gross. Making food that looks literally like poo? I don't get it.

"And politically correct is the worst term, not just because it’s dismissive, but because it narrows down the whole social justice spectrum to this idea that it’s about being polite instead of about dismantling the oppressive social structure of power.
Fun Fact: When you actively avoid being “PC,” you’re not being forward-thinking or unique. You’re buying into systems of oppression that have existed since before you were even born, and you’re keeping those systems in place."Stolen.

What's especially gross about it is it looks like a catbox that hasn't been cleaned in quite some time. A regularly cleaned catbox looks nothing like that. This factors in extra squickiness for me. *shudder*
